THE SAG AWARDS 2018 : MY EXPERT ADVICE ON THE FASHION TRENDS

THE SAG AWARDS 2018

The SAG awards are the annual occasion for actors and actresses to heap praise on each other. One of the younger award shows on the block, the SAG Awards were established only 24 years ago. They were formed by the Screen Actors Guild, the union formed in 1933 to represent film performers worldwide. Moreover at the onset of the first ceremony in 1995, the legendary Angela Lansbury took the stage to emphasize why the night mattered.

"Tonight is dedicated to the art and craft of acting by the people who should know about it: actors," she told the crowd of nominees and presenters gathered at Universal Studios' Stage 12. "And remember, you're one too!"

Darlings that's all well and good! However my concerns are in one place The SAG Awards,The Red Carpet.

THE SAG AWARDS RED CARPET

Of course we saw the stars don black in support of the the Time's Up movement at the Golden Globes. While I am unfaltering in my support of this and other progressive movements, I sort of missed some color. I say I sort of, as I wrote my post about how black emphasized the silhouettes."The Golden Globes: Black Dresses, Protest, and Exciting Silhouettes".

Since my dears I'm sitting writing this in real time, who know's if we will see the same ebony protest. In fact I've had contact with some stylists and they assure me color is in the mix.

Furthermore darling's I always watch these events with the hope to pass information on to you. To clarify what fashion we see and the value it has to us as fashion followers . Usually I will observe a particular trend or style that I as an expert recognize. Furthermore I will pass on my overview and insight.

THE SAG AWARDS; THE TREND

The Sag awards red carpet (like all red carpets)is a show case for the great work of dress designers. While the red carpet to the untrained eye is usually a similar event, fashion always has trends. Therefore I watched closely to determine what trends I detected. On the whole the majority of what was worn was lovely. However darlings there are always the blatant mistakes, those dresses that standout for all the wrong reasons. However I won't dwell on the dresses that missed the mark, I prefer to look at the gowns that worked.

In my opinion what stood out about the best dresses that worked was structure. In fact the cut of a dress dictates the silhouette, the style and most importantly the fit. Furthermore if any of you have constructed a garment you will be aware the more seams and pattern pieces the better the fit. Hence the theme that really stood out was architecture of the gowns. Since many of you know I have a background in costume design , a term we used was to build the costume. Similarly these structured gowns are built like a building with the foundation of the garment being the most important. By all means we never dismiss color, fabric and decoration in this case however the trend is structured gowns.

THE SAG AWARDS; THE GOWNS

THE SAG AWARDS: STRUCTURED DRESSES

Darlings as I've laid out, structure is the architecture of the dress . Dress designers have many skills to manipulate fabric to create extraordinary dresses. Therefore using pleats, darts ,seams and other skills a dress is created .Above all else structured dresses work with curves and shape of your body , it's all about the fit . Therefore I can't stress too much that you find a good seamstress or better yet become one. Nonetheless look at my choices that will lead you towards understanding what a structured dress is about . Shop my choices and most of all educate yourself on fashion , even if you only use it to look fantastic.
